The spawner isn't the problem, it's the socket. If the socket isn't connected it could work but skips would be easier to do and the second level would need to be redesigned
You can use controllers instead of electric engines, and if they are to slow just double them up. And you don't need counter weights. Also use the vanilla wasd converters.
@@scrapman There is a way to make controllers very precise, Place 2 bearings and connect them to different controllers in opposite rotation, set them to 1 degree ,enable loop and connect to buttons. Save your creation, open the blueprint file in your scrapdata with notepad (sort with last modified to find your blueprint). Look for "timeperframe" and set somewhere between 0.1 and 0.01 and save your blueprint. It's a shame the controller doesn't allow for more precision without blueprint editing, but it's not that much work.. And if you press e on the controllers after editing they will return to their standard speed which is tediously slow..
Woah I really love this concept and your method of going about building this! It looks super cool and it's not super glitchy either! This is a really great idea and I hope to see you work on it more in the future!
Scraps, you’ve come up with a rad idea!! You could add pistons or powered bearings that change the orientation or/and position of small sections of the rails. This would create a puzzle-like aspect, as the player would need to balance the ball, AND correctly orient the path. Added plus, you can fit more path length into the available space, because doubling back, or crossing paths would not be an issue. Just add a turntable like railways. Can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with! Keep it up.
like in the second one you made with the plus sign, put all of the rails and stuff on the front of a big plate made of metal then you can put the counter weight and the thrusters on the back, out of the players view. And depending on how big you make the metal plate, it can act as a flywheel and carry momentum to make the challenge harder at later levels :)
You could put in a second axis to rotate on. I know it would be hard to do while having a good weight distribution, but I think it'd be fun. In regard to actually seeing whats going on I would then recommend moving the whole ball course down!
u can put this entire thing on a flat plane basically by having the tilt bearing then on top of that have a bearing that is facing up and that allows the player to rotate the game, this makes it so that you would have more than just 2 controls of tilt left and right, it also allows u to add actual right angle turns and not turns that are basically falling and catching yourself
Oh boy there's so much that could be done.... While I was watching I thought of how railway and raceway tracks tilt sideways through curves you could maybe have a balancing section. Also thought of a mini maze when you mentioned multiple balls, something like those mini maze toys where you avoid holes and try to get to the end.... But sideways and 4 of them on separate tracks. Would need to have a section of bars or glass on the side *(after reading the comments I've noticed what I'm thinking has similarly been done in' legend of Zelda, BoTW,.... Mixing that and this is what I was thinking) Also thought of a manually controlled slide or roller coaster like thing where you have to pick the best path, while balancing and keeping speed (like the demonstration at the start) to navigate moving puzzles
I have soooo many ideas... :D I have never played Scrap Mechanic, so I'm only going out what I know but here are my ideas for more complex levels based on the episode: 1. Take the level into 2D with a free bearing on the block with the free bearing (or however it's done). 2. Take the level from 2D to 3D using pistons. 3. Have multiple rails to transition between (one I want to see is where you have to sandwich the ball with two rails to transition). 4. With the pistons, try to perform jumps. (Trickshots into the hole would be cool). 5. See if a ball can balance on a single rail. :P 6. Make extra pathways lol. I don't know a seat is able to do complicated things like that but good luck anyways!
You could add a wall with a single block hole in the middle that a pipe can go through with the ball spawner, socket and rails and minimal blocks on the front side, and counter weights and thrust on the other to make it look better
this is amazing you should continue making this because this is just amazing and i loved what you did at 9:34 continue making awesome stuff you are an awesome creator.
You can try to just make a drop from the middle of a straight line. You'd have to make it go to one side and turn the other side very quickly. This could be like the second or third challenge, being kind of an introduction to the physics of it.
idea for one of the challenges later, instead of tilting perpendicular to gravity, have a bearing parallel to the ground so you have to use centripetal force to move the ball
When it gets to a harder lvl you should do a maze type thingy and tilt the maze to navigate thru it. Other idea two sides the ball is up the end is down turn the course then you have to catch it mid air.
Why put spawner and catcher on the tilt mechanism? You could put spawner on a 90 degree angle so the ball falls into the rails, even a static rail with an angle at first, like a Rube Goldberg section before the part you control with the buttons. :) Great idea btw ScrapMan!
Reminds me of a toy I had as a child. Google "Wood Labyrinth". Very cool idea. Also you could make a "cage" over the top of the goal to prevent being able to "catch" the ball like you did. It would force the ball to have to take the intended path in. Obviously that challenge you worked out, but for future ideas.
Make one where there are two rotating platforms with two balls. Rotate them with the same buttons but when one goes clockwise make the other go counter clockwise and visa versa
when its getting complex just build another rotation bearing construction :v so then you will rotate multiple things at once, also you could use additional buttons to move alongside rail OR time it so character is moving to the right when you spin it, same for left :D
After seeing this video there should be a block only available for challenge mode So basically its just a 1x1 or 2x1 like a controller and when you access it you can set the weight of it by ( the set amount of metal blocks you want ) then boom your map is clean Cuz if ur like me i like it clean and hidden
Day 1 of suggesting scrap do the Mad Max race. On either team, 1 player drives while 1 shoots the opposing team. You can decide how you want to split or combine the building, but I recommend the teams’ mates build together to figure out how the turret should attach and the overall design of the vehicle.
Do a multiplayer Monday challenge that is you have to make 1 vehicle that is a car, boat, and plane and you need to do a race which has a part of planes cars and boats
Add a jump with enough speed you could do them or two different spinning things one you have to go one way and the other you have to go the other way and have to jump between them. But I do like this Idea. Another thing you could do is build a Labyrinth Game using pistons
I think you should make it a challenge so the top 3 sum of best times or best for each level gets a shout out. You have to specify that screenshots of your time are not valid because photoshop is easy.
Can't wait to give this a go!! :D Thanks for putting in the effort to create amazing challenges for the scrap mechanic community!!
U can put the ball spawner next to the rails so no weight is added
People need to like this comment. This is very important information.
The spawner isn't the problem, it's the socket. If the socket isn't connected it could work but skips would be easier to do and the second level would need to be redesigned
Logic could be used to fix that though

And you don't need counter weights.

controllers only rotate at defined intervals, this won't allow the precision needed for these challenges
@@scrapman can you multiplayer trailmakers again you have so many new blocks

@@wickidsticky that wouldnt allow regular players the same ammount of precision
Make it so that the ball has to be launched from one track and land onto a completely sperate one.

This + The wavy machine you made when pistons came out
?
Woah I really love this concept and your method of going about building this! It looks super cool and it's not super glitchy either! This is a really great idea and I hope to see you work on it more in the future!
This reminds me of the Zelda breath of the wild joy-con tilt shrine...... I took 15 whole minutes to complete that...
I think you mean “tilt shrineS” there are a bunch of those and they’re all annoying as hell

I really like it, you should make this a "series" just like the mini golf challenges.
Love the concept, make it a series
like in the second one you made with the plus sign, put all of the rails and stuff on the front of a big plate made of metal then you can put the counter weight and the thrusters on the back, out of the players view. And depending on how big you make the metal plate, it can act as a flywheel and carry momentum to make the challenge harder at later levels :)
You can close your track with a glass box so it looks clean and neat......love your videos. !!!!
YES please continue this series and also what happened to your Satisfactory series? I hope you haven't decided to stop Satisfactory.
Yea, I'm scared about that
There is only 1d movement.
Make it in 2 or 3 directional movement
3D* four directional
3D means"Three Dimensional"
You could put in a second axis to rotate on. I know it would be hard to do while having a good weight distribution, but I think it'd be fun. In regard to actually seeing whats going on I would then recommend moving the whole ball course down!

An idea to have something like a maze on 4 piston legs, attached to the maze on bearings, that are on 4 buttons which will tilt the maze
Oh boy there's so much that could be done....
While I was watching I thought of how railway and raceway tracks tilt sideways through curves you could maybe have a balancing section.

You could add a wall with a single block hole in the middle that a pipe can go through with the ball spawner, socket and rails and minimal blocks on the front side, and counter weights and thrust on the other to make it look better
You could also have 2 on the track at the same time to add more if a challenge, trying to get 1 in it's spot without moving the other one.
this is amazing you should continue making this because this is just amazing and i loved what you did at 9:34 continue making awesome stuff you are an awesome creator.
Use the smart engine controllers from The Modpack, because you can give them infinite power
Good idea, but it has to be vanilla to work in challenge mode
Oooooh! Maybe in the later levels adding two axis of rotation would be cool. So the player has more to think about than just left and right.
You can try to just make a drop from the middle of a straight line.
You'd have to make it go to one side and turn the other side very quickly.
This could be like the second or third challenge, being kind of an introduction to the physics of it.
BC many are asking: the building music is L'effet Mer from Bertysolo
Scrapman it would be nice if you would put that in the description.
Its a great idea, and you should even try to do a 3 dimentionnal puzzle with thrusters on 3 different angles
idea for one of the challenges later, instead of tilting perpendicular to gravity, have a bearing parallel to the ground so you have to use centripetal force to move the ball
Add a second axis of rotation so that it is like that marble game.
Can you do drag races for multiplayer Monday
Walker drag race without thrusters!
Really looking forward
My idea is that you could do closed maze, where you wont fall out, and then somewhere is end
When it gets to a harder lvl you should do a maze type thingy and tilt the maze to navigate thru it.
Other idea two sides the ball is up the end is down turn the course then you have to catch it mid air.
Why put spawner and catcher on the tilt mechanism?

love this concept, you could make it 3d for a labyrinth
Make one where there are two rotating platforms with two balls. Rotate them with the same buttons but when one goes clockwise make the other go counter clockwise and visa versa
I love this idea!!! Please do more!
These beams balance thing better than I can balance my life
when its getting complex just build another rotation bearing construction :v so then you will rotate multiple things at once,
also you could use additional buttons to move alongside rail OR time it so character is moving to the right when you spin it, same for left :D
You should make one of those mazes that you have to get the small little ball through it by leaning in certain directions.
Can’t wait for the 3D versions of this 😂
Use an A D converter on controllers on loop for tilt
After seeing this video there should be a block only available for challenge mode
So basically its just a 1x1 or 2x1 like a controller and when you access it you can set the weight of it by ( the set amount of metal blocks you want ) then boom your map is clean
Cuz if ur like me i like it clean and hidden
If you do it with multible balls that spawn at certain angles you schould make a wall with matching colors so they know it
Great idea. Can't wait to try it.
I definitely want to see more of this
We need more of this!
I'd be cool to see one of thouse spinning mazes built. You know those toy thing things, that you spin... to finish the maze.... yeah?
I LIKE TURTLES!
noice concept...im exited to follow this
Why don't you use a controller instead of thrusters/electric engines?
we need multiple axes! (the plural of axis lol)
Nice concept, very fun to watch )
you should do a labyrinth with this (as a more dificult level)
with loops and intersections!
yes do more of this challenge

You can decide how you want to split or combine the building, but I recommend the teams’ mates build together to figure out how the turret should attach and the overall design of the vehicle.
Should have used this concept in the mini golf challenge
Hi scrapman I like your vids
Sounds cool.
Awesome idea keep it going
I wanna see more of dis like so scrapman can see
Do a multiplayer Monday challenge that is you have to make 1 vehicle that is a car, boat, and plane and you need to do a race which has a part of planes cars and boats
Add a jump with enough speed you could do them or two different spinning things one you have to go one way and the other you have to go the other way and have to jump between them.
But I do like this Idea.
Another thing you could do is build a Labyrinth Game using pistons
awesome build. u inspire me
Can't you cheese the challenge by dropping off the platform onto the victory area below?
nice pack pls make more!!!
PS.I LOVE YOUR VIDS!!!
Idk why ScrapMan and Syntac post a Video at the exact same time its happen very often :/ (btw syntac is an Ark RUclipsr)
Could be their time zones
@@ultraeclipsegaming3933 maybe xD
This sounds fun
can you tell me how to add those yellow holder things?
You are my favorite RUclipser
Briliant
I think you should make it a challenge so the top 3 sum of best times or best for each level gets a shout out. You have to specify that screenshots of your time are not valid because photoshop is easy.
I am a fan of this KANcept
And I am gonna play it right now
Yes
I played it and it's amazing
I like this kancept
cool concept
Love your content! :D
You could try having electric engines as the spinner instead
you could make a course where the ball goes from 1 gear to another like they are passing the ball to another rail
Keep doing this
Hey Scrapman, could you play Factorio? I feel like you would really like it.
You should do a Walker race. :)
Nice
Scrapman use it in your ⛳ corces .to increase the difficulty.
Great idea! What's the music in the montage?
Try to make that they had to balance it to the middle to finish the level
Pls make this a series but don't end this series like the golf ball series
You should add a/d converter instead of buttons
i just want the music you use when building here in challenge mode!
Niiiiccceeee I love you so much
I like this
just use 2 ball end zone), left and right
You can use controllers to rotate bearings
They don't work well for this type of thing
Make a track, that can rotate in multiple directions
I LIKE YOUR VID SC
I Love it
2 or 3 balls on single rail :D
A ball maze with dead ends that dropped the ball and you can hide the weights behind the wall
Put the ball catcher a few blocks lower so if u try to cheat it will go over the catcher
*make this series endless*
u r de best
